    ^Sure, but can I have my opinions freely tho?

    Or should I censor myself to fit in line with the QBN party?

    Don't like my stuff, scroll away, nobody is forcing anybody to do anything
    Don't agree with me, add your ideas, let's discuss, this was still a public forum last time I checked

    So again, if you ask me, keeping QBN steady would involve cutting the nasty stuff

    And if some here can't abstain themselves from posting nsfw posts, bro that's on you and probably QBN will have the same faith as ffffound or other forums that went into oblivion

    p.s. Facebook cut a lot of moderation time just be introducing "real names" policy, just saying...then again some people have no shame or restraint no matter what

    • It's more that you're manic posting and manufacturing drama. Pick up some freelance work, go outside. Make a neat dinner.garbage
    • I don't recall you being an outrage artist in the past, but maybe I wasn't paying attention. Take a chill pill.garbage
    • Yeah, I just finished making pasta
      I have no clue what's up with all this heat, but whatever
      grafician
    • Oh let me be clear, this was not a reply to Ianbolton directly, but "you" as a bunch who keep harassing at this point lolgrafician
    • I'll be out in the garden eating my pasta, byegrafician
    • Pasta is not good enough, take a step further.i_was
    • i don't agree with the downvoting of your posts but this isn't a hygine issue, the admins are just sick of cleaning qbns big old dirty tits. #CutOffTheTitskingsteven
    • I'm trying to watch Pulp Fiction minding my pasta, get off damngrafician
    • also this is about someone's opinions being better than else's cuz you can't be the better man and chill?
      I didn't start this, damn, you did!
      grafician
    • You kind of did start this by claiming you felt sorry for people who came here, yet you're here the most - and seemingly need to have the last word too.Ianbolton
    • No Ianbolton, this was outside this thread, I bickered with mono and others in the crypto thread, then kingsteven felt compelled to "quote" megrafician
    • Like I said I have no issues with you Ianbolton whatsoever, I'm only 10-15 mins until I finish Pulp Fiction again, you guys can have the last words have fun byegrafician
    • :-) Thanks. Hope you enjoyed the film.Ianbolton
    • Pulp Fiction still holds up rather well after all these years!
      This was my second or third watch, felt like a brand new film.

  • drgs2

    So, what's the conclusion

    • admins that don't have the time to moderate threads also don't have the time to delete threads?kingsteven
    • He must pay.i_was
    • Nothing gets deleted, nobody cares?grafician

    Graf, why are you lecturing us on how to have a decent forum, how to post and how you feel sorry for people who still come here, while posting vacuously inane shit yourself?

    I've been using QBN for around 13 years and having a Toilet of the Day thread is sometimes the creative thread making that weaves its magic into this website. I think, bar a few people, we have good discussion, valid opinions, often creative inspirations, fixes/tutorials and stunning work which we all love to share.

    Don't sit there and think 'if everyone thought like me, everything would be much better' as I think you know exactly what that means.

    There are websites to go check out porn so happy not to have it here. Maybe Simon should have his own thread after all these years? Keep on QBNing

    • Yeah man, who am I to judge you for getting inspired by toilets or porn and the lot in your creative endeavours.grafician
    • Just because u think it's cool doesn't make it so.

      The rest you said, makes no sense, so I'll pass.

      I'm out anyway with work
      grafician
    • You're no the final word on what is or isn't good, acceptable or "cool," graf. And it comes off as if you think you are. I hope that makes sense.monospaced
    • Right, then why even start this thread or ask the "community" about what to remove or not? I hope that makes sense.grafician
    • I said my piece over this, I give no fucks if you agree or not. Just like everybody else should do too.grafician
    • @Ianbolton Do whatever you want mate, I have no issues with you now or ever
      @mono you keep popping up up everywhere I write, you're embarrassing
      grafician
    • Also monospaced you don't get to play the victim here, you had plenty of fights over the years, while I still have no clue why you're mad about or why u caregrafician
    • exactly, who are you to judge? There's no virtue in being cool Graf. Keep up the good work thoughIanbolton
    • right ... I'M embarrassing, good luck with thismonospaced
    • Again: You don't do yourself any favours, graf. This is just about the crypto thread, eh? <Ian's pretty fucking sublime, so if you've got his back up.. well.Nairn
    • *isn't just about the crypto thread, fffs.Nairn
    • Still don't get how am I at fault here, Nairn? Did I ever mentioned Ianbolton in any of my posts ever?
      Again, there is no quarrel here, stop with these posts!
      grafician
    • Also Nairn, excuse me what's with "do yourself any favours" sorry I was on trial here and I didn't knew about it?grafician
    • I said as much to you a few weeks ago in some side thread somewhere.Nairn
    • the complete lack of self awareness is remarkablefadein11
    • Yep, he needs therapy.i_was
    • calm down, grafician is a bold guy...the heart at the right place... stop chasing him playing some blame game... the crypto thread is def. a building blockneverscared
    • of this whole attack... since anti-eco friendly crypto they have no moral compass to begin with..neverscared
    • what attack? his attacks?fadein11

  • Fax_Benson4

    I don't really care but I can see how the grot might put some people off, and I'd prefer more people here (perhaps even some that aren't middle-aged men) over the grot.

    • We need early-era Jalines for the 2020s.Nairn
    • Long Live Jalinefaxion

    I mean, at this point QBN is alllllmost a MGTOW forum

    like a softcore MGTOW

    • What I mean to say is that it feels closer to a MGTOW forum than a design forumnb
    • had to google that
      "Men Going Their Own Way"

    • I disagree, but we do have some very loud MGTOW incels.garbage

  • cherub6

    I think a much more serious problem is people mispronouncing nairn's name.

    I had always imagined he was born out of a CS Lewis novel. Or his parents got confused, or something like that.

    Come to think of it, how do you pronounce it? Don't tell me it rhymes with Erin?!!

    • ...with an Irish accent?grafician
    • I mean

      Smh

      https://www.youtube.…

    • Also learn to pronounce the "r" with the always lovely Gill

    • Naaaaaaaaaasarnnnnnn...thumb_screws
    • Rhymes with Cairn, cherub.
      @graf - Not Irish. Not really that first video (wtf?). Also, that second video is.. not wholly correct either.
      Nairn
    • Sound like she's more pronouncing English English, rather than British English - up North Rs are indeed often pronounced towards the end of words. eg. 'Bark'.Nairn
    • ..in Southern Inglish is more like 'Bahk', but I enunciate the R. Perhaps it's because I went to elocution and am not a pleb, mind.
      /joke
      Nairn
    • Actually - the more I watch of her video, as nice as she is, the more i disagree with it. She seems to have quite a narrow perspective.Nairn
    • lol dorf :)Nairn
    • As someone from the states, Cairn is a word that doesn't occur here. As a word it doesn't exist here, you wouldn't see it unless you left an went to aussielandcherub
    • Therefore thats two words I've never heard pronounced. I googled an I thought I read Nairn sorta rhymed with aaron but I guess I misread.cherub
    • “Noya”maquito
    • You don't have these in the states, cherub?

      Nairn
    • No, not that I've ever seen. Piles of rocks sure, but never knew it had a name.cherub
    • Yeah you can find cairns here. They're usually just markers left by hippies on trails. Sidenote: Proud to say I have a stone on Maeve's Cairn in Sligo.garbage
    • In the US, I don't think we have words that rhyme with Nairn. Weird.monospaced

    Five days later and still... nuttin'

  • sted12

    Here is a little story what made me think that one day this could happen to QBN:

    In the last 3-4 years a bunch of adult sites got slowly flooded with illegal content, these sites have an insane amount of professional and user-generated content from 3-5 min trailers to multiple hours of webcam recordings with semi-KYC.
    Therefore it was easy to hide these materials and built a case against them. The crackdown was swift and fast, for example one of these providers got banned form various payment services despite the fact that their paid services were 100% legal and clear, others got an "easier" pass but still had to put a lot of $ on finding/filtering/removing these things and legal fees. But the damage is far more bigger than it looks.

    Sooo I would lobby against any type of porn/adult content on this site what doesn't falls to the budoar/erotic photography category (no penetration, no body fluids) because it opens the gates to opportunities like the one described previously.

    And yeah think like an adult: you really need this shit here when the entire internet is loaded with porn?

    • This. No interest in the soft/porn, but I do want to see artistic nudes, including more erotic ones.formed
    • It seems QBN website doesn't host any content besides our words. so perhaps that's a get out of jail ticket ?shapesalad
    • It seems you can't post behance hosted content here... so why not expand that to a blacklist of porn / trash sites?shapesalad
    • Sted, this makes about as much sense as the renaming of streets that is happening all over the USA. First the politically correct cunts had a prob with statues,cherub
    • now they've grown tired of tearing down statues and have moved on to street names. Graffiti some street signs, tell the community that street was 'racist' thencherub
    • have the street named removed. "Racism" cured. Idiots.cherub
    • @cherublook please do some research about the European and Asian laws regarding internet user contributed content.
      you're going to end up somewhere here:
      sted
    • https://www.openglob…sted
    • if it doesn't solve all problem, do nothing.
      End segregation. racism cured? nope
      Black president. racism cured? nope
      let's do nothing cuz nothing works!
      pango
    • hey nazi erected a nazi monument when they occupied your town. let's just leave it there, cuz nothing works!
      STOP DOING ANYTHING!
      pango
    • sup up Pango your weekend date didn't worked out? just try to deal with the local problems, don't try to save the world at once. we all get lost easy in that.sted

    • my weekend sucks btw! im sweating balls!
      FUCKEN HEAT WAVE!
      pango
    • 'let's do nothing cuz nothing works!' You know what DOES work? Stop being a woke lemming riding a stupid woke bandwagon off a cliff. Stop going along with selfcherub
    • censorship. Stop being a slave to the judgement of your peers(on social media). Start thinking independently. Start questioning this propaganda train beingcherub
    • shoved in people's faces 24/7. Question who benefits from that, and why.cherub
    • Or just scream black lives matter into the void and hope it's all better when you wake up tomorrow, pango.cherub
    • You missed something. "Fucken sheeple!"
      Ya who benefits from it?
      Also who benefits from posting borderline kitty porn?
      pango
    • Next thing you know someone's gonna say kitty porn is a form of expression and free speech!pango
    • Or an less outrageous question. Who benefits from porn on qbn?pango
    • Wtf does the renaming of streets signs and the tearing down of statues have to do with porn? Lol. You commented 'do nothing' and I gave you a critique of whycherub
    • that stance is stupid. But don't let me stop you from riding any bandwagons you woke social justice warrior you. BLACK LIVES MATTER!!! lolololcherub
    • cuz this entire thread is about removing NSFW contents?
      wtf does renaming street signs have to do with NSFW?!?!? lolol
      pango
    • There is only gloryautoflavour
    • I made the analogy bcuz the methodology is the same in both cases. 1)find something the woke crowd wants war with 2)send in goons to deface (spray graffitti)cherub
    • the offending street signs 3)go to city council with tears streaming down yer face about slavery/racism 4)hope nobody noticescherub
    • In sted's post, only difference is you replace spraying graffitti with sending in people to upload illegal porn. Manufactured crisis, then a ban on all porn.cherub
    • In both cases, the obvious thing to do is just remove tiny portion of the population causing the problem to begin with but you woke crowd find that too sensiblecherub
    • Changing the names of streets and removing those statues does help the future. If you can’t grasp that then you’re a narrow minded fool.monospaced
    • And the idea that removing porn is akin to changing ehat we choose to represent in American streets is stupid AF. No offense.monospaced
    • . o O ( kinda curious about kitty porn )Nairn
    • “kiddie”monospaced
    • Yeah, I know. This was at about my threshold for making an inappropriate paedo-related joke now that I have a daughter.Nairn
    • "Changing the names of streets and removing those statues does help the future." Puts hand on heart, gosh mono, you've converted me. I'm woke now.cherub
    • @mono lol
      @chuerub. you can make analogy and i cant? at least i'm more on subject being discussed on this thread.
      pango
    • now tell me, who benefits from porn on qbn?
      ok screw analogy. how about this. would you agree the existence of NSFW and related thread invites NSFW content?
      pango
    • also can't exactly remove someone when they simply posting what the threads asks for. Even if you do remove them, another mofo's just gonna pop up tmr.pango
    • "would you agree the existence of NSFW and related thread invites NSFW content?" yes it does, and I already stated my opinion elsewhere in the thread. I told emcherub
    • to delete it, in case you are too lazy to read english. I voted delete.cherub
    • ya not gonna read every notes. i'm not that miserable yet.
      oh good. i thought you were another one of those "protect our trashy porn" people
      pango
    • I wasn't trying to convert you. Just letting you know that your interpretation isn't really reflective of reality.monospaced
  • autoflavour-4

    But how is babby formed?

  • Nairn2

    My thought - in the old days, NT/QBN would just do what the fuck it wanted to do. We all got ban hammered at some point, and probably rightly so.

    Just make a decision and follow-through already.

    • And look how many interesting folk popped in back then. I got some great inside info on the Wipeout scene from Hackers from tDR's Michael C. Place.SteveJobs
    • I'm sure others could share similar interesting stories. Loved the drama just the same (remember the Zoolander thread?)SteveJobs
    • huh. i had no idea Build was part of tDR. Or maybe I did, long ago, and forgot, but I don't think so.Nairn
  • grafician-11

    Isn't this about QBN being the new ffffound?

    Going from design to nasty stuff is not cool

    ffffound got shut down and I'm pretty sure the main reason was not hosting costs

    Also about Simon or whoever, that's his work, he could post anything he shoots, we're not instagram here, nudity is nothing shameful

    but all the guys posting nasty stuff under anonymity on a public forum where other professionals post real work and use real names...bruh...

    I mean posting latest work next to threads about toilets and all kinds of weird af stuff, bro grow up!

    sure go ahead downvote me, this place has gone down so much I just feel sorry for many around here

    p.s. outfits that use "we're a family here" are usually the shittiest places...

    • agh lol fuck off u got 0 understanding, or any glimpse whats going on.sted
    • @admins

      I have no problem paying a subscription and engaging respectfully with a community of peers if you clean this place up, just saying
      grafician
    • Matter of fact, just opening a Slack or Discord would work a lot better these days and delete everything else around heregrafician
    • @sted lol the fact that people have MULTIPLE accounts to post shit here...

      QBN is very interesting as an online social experiment, I give you that
      grafician
    • You can always keep the accounts with real info behind them and delete the rest, QBN would explode in engagement overnight lolgrafician

    • I see that your posts are not very well received. Anywhere. That’s how I see it. Maybe it’s you who needs to watch it and do better. Think about it.monospaced
    • Yes, that's on you, not me. I post stuff that's normal and facts.
      But I get downvoted while omaha still..."designs" so explain that? lol
      grafician
    • Also people around here hate me apparently cuz I make them look dumb, including you mono lol

      I do also have lots of positive chats but you refuse to see those
      grafician
    • But yeah I guess it's a rising trend these days hating people you don't agree with.
      But again, that's on you hehe
      grafician
    • You don’t make me look dumb. But saying shit like that isn’t helping your case. It’s making people hate you.monospaced
    • Your predicament is NOT on me. How ridiculous.monospaced
    • I don’t even downvote you. That’s the community. Once again. Look at yourself this time and stop blaming everyone else. You may learn something.monospaced
  • lemmy_k3

    I see this place as my one stop shopping. It has everything the interwebs has to offer. Some things I want to see and some things I don't. I have learned to use my mouse to not click stuff I don't want to see. I don't need someone else deciding that for me. This is a forum, i thought they were supposed to be for expressing your personal veiws.

    • I wonder why so few women engage on this site?Nairn
    • How is showing nsfl stuff a personal view? I agree with you btw.monospaced
  • srhadden4

    I agree with nb that one of the cool things of QBN is that it allows the good as well as the bad. And if there aren't dedicated NSFW threads, then NSFW stuff is going to start popping up in other threads without a doubt. It's fine. Leave it as it is.

    • Uhhh that’s not what I thinknb

    - instead of bumping nsfw threads to page 1,
    bump only to page 3.

    and something like this:

    - css opacity or blur filter on posted images. every downvote increases the filter.

    - default filter setting is on.

    - toggle switch on/off filter in personal profile settings.
